A lot is happening lately, so I don't have time to get on the Internet much at all, except to use Windows Messenger and check my email. So if you want to contact me and I never come on, email me. If you have my addie. If you don't, you have to wait, I suppose...:P

It's possible that later this year (after the trip to Peru) I have a job. I'll be working with my dad at the Five Guys Burgers and Fries that's being opened here in Boise on June, I believe. If all goes well, that is. So pray that it does. I'm excited. :D I need to make money...publication doesn't come for free, so (the nerve of them!) I'll need to pool in some money on my own end, in addition to having written the flipping thing. Oh well. So this is also an answered prayer, I was fretting about that. I can't walk up to my parents and go, "Can I have $1,000+ to publish my book properly---IF anyone is interested in it?" That'd be dumb. And then I can't ask them at the very last minute if one of the publication forms is accepted. So I need to make my own cash. It's only fair. I will work hard to achieve this.

As for Lent, it's being hard. I keep wishing that it was over so that I can type the story (instead of handwriting, a sort of not-so-easy shortcut, at which rate I get about 3 pages done per day. That's only about 1,000 words. GASP.) I keep considering giving it up and opening a new document and WRITING, but I trudge through it and keep to my promise. It's almost over...right? In any case I'm proud of myself for having made it thus far.

Jane Eyre is WAY too long. And descriptive. I hate classics that have too much description. I can skip over entire paragraphs and not miss ANYTHING. I can't stand classics, I'm sorry.

We're going to Peru with Dad on May 22 (I believe) and it'd be the first time he's there in years. (I don't know if I already blogged about this, but if I have, I don't care.) He's gonna be there 12 days. I'm only worried about my doggie, the only one who isn't going. She's going to have to go to a kennel for those 12 days because there is no way my grandma can handle her---she's a little demon when she wants to be. So I'm sad about that. :( Happy about the rest, though.

I'm leaning towards addicted to the Twilight movie. I get excited whenever I think of my DVD, and want to watch it a second time but somehow never have time to. This week I swear I will, though. I don't care if my parents think it ridiculous, I loved it. XD

I think that's about it. Please comment. I want to hear from you. :)

Love you all,
